    The forum is pretty nice, it fits well into all screen resolutions. Some suggestions: I would enlarge your logo because it's too small and needs to be more noticable! Also, on the lower part of your site, theres a lot of blank area, I would take some of your content on the right and move it to the bottom center/left.

    I like the site, I think it doesn't stand out enough. The parts of your site that you want to highlight are the content, such as the logo, which is very small and doesn't stand out, as well as the main menu, and the text is very dull. Also, you might want to experiment a little with the template. The register form is a little too wide too, I found that even after signing up and logging in the right sidebar was too obstructive.

    I would try to switch the Statistics area with the area on the left. And also the banners seem too obstructive on all four corners of the site.

    just my 2 cents :)

    OK, here we go:
    • header logo is too small
    • below that, the register, f.a.q. etc. is too small
    • and have a "boards" link in it...
    • background of table headers needs a background-repeat: repeat-x; and a black background-color because if it's too long like "Start a partnership general discussions" then it has two lines. This is quite a common mistake btw. It happens in the calendar too.
    • Shorter description for the single boards.
    • Why not have some em and strong in the Welcome text?
    • In the control panel I'd remove all the "edit" words. Four times is too much I think.
    • Why not allow logged in (and active) users to deactivate all those ads?
    • I don't like the view of the current month much. Maybe not full width and move the week days to the table header

    your site, startpartnership.com is a pr2 website and following are your keywords position in search engine rankings.

    start business partnership
    MSN Search == 16
    Google Not available
    Yahoo == 7

    start partnership
    MSN Search == 1
    Google Not available
    Yahoo == 47

    business partnership forum
    MSN Search == 1
    Google == 1
    Yahoo == 3

    your forum is pretty active, you have over 2000 member with lot's of posts and thread. nice forum. i like the design that's cool.

    have you put up your adbrite ads recently, perhaps that's why there are no ads right now. but then adbrite is good, stick with it, you will get some extra money.

    comming back to the forum, i see that you have used this in your title "-" change that with this "|" it will help search engines to give importance to the two keywords that you have in your title.

    you need to work on the pr, it is 2, you need to have atleast 5, or more, here are a few methods that you can use to develop pr,
    1) write an article and submit it to article submission websites, add your link in the articles,
    2) directory submission is a good way, try the paid directories
    3) find other such forums on the net, and do link exchange with them
    4) advertise your forum on other forums, even try the paid to post method, it helps to make a nice forum.
    5) try the link bait, try to create a discussion on your forum, that will help.

    you need more traffic, and that you will get from search engines, here are a few methods to optimize your metatags.

    title must be 50-60 characters, i think it is all right.
    descreption 150-180 characters
    keywords 120-150 characters, try to keep all these less, but not more!

    pm me, if you think i won the contest, cheers!:)

    First line of your front page: 'entrepeneur' should be entrepreneur.

    Nice clean forum integration :)
